christopherschreck: Amanda Ross-Ho interviewed by Elad Lassry for Bomb Magazine (Feb 2010) “Lately I have been obsessed with another engine that negotiates image and object beautifully: eBay. This is an annoyingly predictable archive to be infatuated with, yet there are crucial structures within it that are pertinent to my work. I watch it like a spectator sport. eBay collapses the space between decontextualized object and objectless context. Access to the fragments is granted through images and language of varying quality, detail and fidelity, and the marriage of these forms coupled with the potential for actual access is fascinating to me. For someone who is interested in deconstructing the mechanics of a picture, eBay is a cornucopia of innovative and economic compositional strategies. I compulsively trove this constantly fluctuating network, collecting images and language. I recently made a sculpture that recreated a presentation strategy borrowed from an eBay photo in which someone displayed a large assortment of gold chains on the rungs of a ladder. Craigslist is equally fascinating, and more lawless. The free Craigslist section is like a concrete poetry forum or a conceptual exercise message board. I have folders and documents filled with genius language stolen from these posts.” ( @DBG, you might find this one interesting)
